OUR VENUES - we use 2 lovely venues right in the heart of Belfast City :

Bullitt Hotel is a stylish and cleverly designed hotel in the centre of Belfast, near to a host of bars, restaurants and top tourist attractions. It's also close to a range of public transport links and is easily reached by bus or train.

Belfast’s central station is only 1km from the hotel and is just 5 minutes by taxi or a 12-minute walk.

Great Victoria Street station is the city’s main transport interchange and the terminus for most train and bus routes. It is 1.2km from the hotel, 5 minutes by taxi or a 15-minute walk.

The Metropolitan Arts Centre (MAC) is an award-winning arts venue in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter and is home to all kinds of exhibitions, theatre performances, experimental works.

The MAC is a cultural hub and a vital shared space in Belfast. Open 363 days per year, the MAC offers an eclectic programme of visual art, theatre, dance, family workshops and lots more.

The MAC is extremely proud of their team of 100 MACtivist volunteers who volunteer their time to make sure the MAC is a welcoming place to visit. The MACtivists (in blue t-shirts) are some of the first people you'll meet when you step inside the MAC. Their t-shirts say 'talk to me'.

Why not get here early and have a look at what's on offer or grab a drink in the fabulous NATIVE bar and restaurant!
